Thank Heavens for Warm Weather and other Stuff

This past week's weather has been a wonderful peek at Spring.  But in the southeast, we really don't have a true spring.  Just early summer in my opinion.  Winter has been long enough and cold enough for me.  Fortunately, we have already had some days in the eighties.  A nice chance to open the house up and have some fresh air moving through.  We even have had to turn the air conditioner on for a few hours on Monday.  It is funny how excited you get about using the air conditioner.  I am sure that mid-August, I will be missing days like that.

Other wonderful 'spring things' that have gone on include daffodils and Bradford pears blooming.  The early pollen haze is already here.  Day lillies are sprouting, but flowers will not be here for a bit.  The brown yard is starting to get green patches of weeds as well as some of the grass is sprouting back.

I LOVE THE SOUTH!

Other random life stuff:

Mama Dawg had her knee replaced the end of January and has done fabulous and has actually been discharged from therapy as of Friday. 

Our granddaughter, 'H Dawg' turned 6 months old. 

One of our real dogs had some surgery and had to wear a cone on his head for 10 days.  It came off today - THANK HEAVENS!

Water temperature at Apache Pier is up to 55 degrees, so there will be some good fishing sooner rather than later.

Grown Dawg has been spending time on the boat under the watchful eye of David Perry of Marine Service Center in Murrell's Inlet and has been pulling a good friend's flatbed trailer in anticipation of boat hauling. 

Hopefully, fishing news will be in the next post.
